Sylvi is an AI-first language-learning app that prioritises spoken conversation over rote memorisation, offering real-time AI or peer conversations with live corrections, translations and contextual feedback. The product includes an AI tutor, personalised lesson plans, chat functions for friends or fellow learners, news-based discussions, and a spaced-repetition flashcard system tied to chat vocabulary. Since launching paid subscriptions in H2 2024 the company reports more than £60,000 in annual recurring revenue and a 4.7/5 App Store rating, with unit economics described as strong (LTV exceeding CAC). Sylvi is piloting an educational programme in a school in southern England and plans to expand into the education sector once the model is refined. Roadmap items in the article include scaling user base in core markets like the UK and US, adding support for more languages starting with English, and forging partnerships with travel brands and language-exchange events. The team emphasises confidence and real-world speaking outcomes rather than engagement metrics such as streaks.
